This game is amazing on so many levels. The gameplay is ALWAYS action packed. The music is enchanting - you will be dancing to the beat of the music in this game. You can, and will die quite a number of times, but it's all worth it.

And the best part: the game is less than 2 bucks on steam. And that's not even on sale either.Give steam your money now.

Very nice. A very different game, and comes with free music that's worth more than the money you spend on this game. You can compete indirectly online (score system) with ridiculously good opponents. It's generally very fun - and gets better as more updates come along. Really quick to download because it's also a nice compact game.

Remember back when highscores were a thing? Where the only thing you cared about was a number? This game will take you back to the good old days of arcade gaming, with tight controls, fluid and fast gameplay which never gets old, GREAT music, and some nicely done bosses. There are some insane point multipliers, and an amazing endless mode. There are strategies to be developed, and a great reference to Nintendo, whom I also love.

TL;DR This game is amazing, worth far more than just $2. Buy it if you love mindless shooting.

let me admit, I purchased this game for its soundtrack. The way the music perfectly intertwines with the hordes of grunts rushing at you is oddly therapeutical.

Having the giant worm try to kill you without the music in the game would defeat the purpose of this game and just make it damn plain boring, mostly because of the way the music sets the mood of the game. The music perfectly suits the game not because it is dubstep, but because of the way it is aggressive.

Listening to songs like Kali 47 or Bach to the Phuture while killing grunts is a good concept of the game because when the music starts you know what to do, it's as if it's hardwired into your brain that you know you need to kill them. But that theory is not all that far off due to the fact that that is a main aspect of the game.

As an audiophile.. and a fan of electronic music... I cannot recommend this title more. Great beats, amazing yet simple gameplay, all tied together to make a really addictive, pulse pounding arcade shooter.

Getting to the "gamer high" is very easy with this one. Autozoning on nothing but the game for 5 minutes at a time whilst leaving your eyes watering simply due to not blinking is common, at least for me.

Seriously, This is the best $2 you can spend on Steam. And I do mean that. Period. Better than what you'd buy on sale for less!

The first time i played this game i was like: "oh this game is so simple". Now Im like "bring it on!". This game is awesome and it demonstrate that a game doesnt need a lot of things to be a good game, and this is one of those games.

This game is really genius !!The music ... I love it, As long as you like the kind of music.Controls are quite simple .... just shoot, jump and dash.But secretly, this game is truly difficult in spite of the simplicity of the way the game is made.Animations look amazing and think it's really a hidden gem.

You need to collect the 6 disc to get all of the powers.The powers are needed to get to the final ending and clearing the game for 100%.Getting all music discs is a really a great challenge.

If you think this game retail price is only for € 2,- that is crazy !!It's haves a really high replay value for his money.I really enjoyed this game for what it is.

This is a must have game !!I give it a 10/10 because of the Difficulty, Replay Value, Beautiful Animation, Cheap Price and cool music.

An interesting take on the twin-stick shooter. The right-stick shoots, but the left-stick, instead of moving in the direction you point, has you jumping between two platforms. What's also intersting are the CDs which when unlocked not only change the music but upgrade your character's attacks. The graphics look really nice as well. Just don't get too distracted while playing...

Holy piss, this game is good, and recently became better with a free expansion.I like Savant's music so maybe I'm slightly biased, but the artwork is also wonderful, and the gameplay, while simple, is challenging and fun.Arcade-like, high replay value for a low price.

I've always enjoyed Savant's music, so when I bought this for a single dollar, I thought it would be good music with some mediocre gameplay. That was stupid of me, really really stupid of me... The Gameplay is on par with the music and the crazy flashes to go with it! The game is very stimulating, I was litteraly glued to my computer screen for a while.

The controls were choppy to me at first, but when you get the hang of it they are not at all. The first 2 levels are quite easy, but the 3rd and after take some skill, the color changes on your missiles to the music. I've played some better synchronized games, but not this cheap!

In the end, the game is very affordable, and yet even more fun! 8.5/10

I'm sure there are lots of people down there in the recommandations that will tell you how fun this game is but in case you're still hestitating, let me be strictly mathematical: this game is 2€; on Bandcamp, a track typically costs about 1€ and there are seven tracks included in the game.Do you see why you should buy it?

At first, I was a little disappointed at the gameplay and I thought the music was alright. The game proceeded to flip my head over in about 5 minutes as I blew up hordes of enemies in vibrant colours, all in a rhythmic fashion.

Before a quick review I want to mention the ridicilous ingame soundtrack (in a good way), such a good mach with the very intense gameplay and all these explosions and enemies surrounding you. I can't really describe it, I never played such a game before. And Its 1EUR on steam sales. You don't have any valid excuses to not buy it.

Well i didn't expect to became adicted to this game,this game is A.W.E.S.S.O.M.E i just love the music,the in game gameplay is very good,it as an short story but with the other modes it is unlimited fun...i hope to see more in the future ,maybe an extend to the story,or another new story.
